"Unethical Behavior" Reason for High Gas Prices

Unread postby PeakOiler » Wed 11 Jun 2008, 12:59:51

I knew it was due to those lousy scoundrels! /sarcasm.

There’s a strange irony related to this subject [oil and gas extraction] that the better you do the job at exploiting this oil and gas, the sooner it is gone.

Unethical behavior is an individual using more than 1/6,700,000,000 of the renewable resources of the earth that are left after the natural world's needs are met.

I think most of us on this site are still pretty unethical

And so the search for scapegoats begins.

Soon they'll be burning witches in the town square. When it comes to the human heart; nothing changes. :(

Americans R so dumb, they need to stand on a brick to raise their IQ. They just can't believe their own eyes over a politician.

Is anyone surprised. The reality of supply/demand is too much reality for most people.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote(' ', 'U')nethical behavior is an individual using more than 1/6,700,000,000 of the renewable resources of the earth that are left after the natural world's needs are met.

Everything on earth is not divided into 6,700,000,000 equal shares, and there is no Big Brother spying on everyone to be sure they don't get more then their tiny allotment.

Its not surprising that most people blame "evil speculators" and "big oil" for the high oil prices..... thats the message that Congress and the Obama presidential campaign and the media have been pushing for months now.

Have a little sympathy guys...did you take it all in at once, easily and with hope?

I'm guessing not because theres a section in the forums dedicated to psychology.

Quit being so...human with your us and them mentality.
